The active appearance model (AAM) is a powerful method for modeling deformable visual objects. One of the major drawbacks of the AAM is that it requires a training set of pseudo-d...
Abstract. We propose an extension of the Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) that allows the joint shape and appearance of foreground objects in cluttered images to be modeled indep...
This paper addresses the problem of text extraction from name card images with fanciful design containing complicated color background and reverse contrast regions. The proposed m...
Our objective is transfer training of a discriminatively trained object category detector, in order to reduce the number of training images required. To this end we propose three ...
In this paper we introduce a novel real-time rendering technique for camera deformations that can be applied to lens distortions and non-realistic projections. Our technique is ba...
